HC Deb 31 January 1997 vol 289 cc410-1W
Mr. Donald Anderson

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what role Swansea will play in the 1998 European summit. [13148]

Mr. Hague

My right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister announced on 28 January,Official Report, column 160, that the June 1998 European Council will be held in Cardiff. This provides a unique opportunity for not only Cardiff but also the rest of Wales. I will be considering how its benefits can be spread as widely as possible.
